U.S.-led coalition conducts airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen

The U.S. and U.K together conducted strikes for a second time this month against Houthi targets in Yemen, two U.S. defense officials told CBS News. Earlier this month, with support from other countries, the two nations targeted just under 30 locations with 150 different weapons. 

In total, the U.S. has conducted eight rounds of airstrikes, including Monday's, against Houthi targets to retaliate for the group's continued attacks on commercial shipping. 

The Iran-backed Houthis have launched over 30 attacks in commercial shipping lanes since November. Although no one has been seriously injured, the attacks have led some shipping companies to direct their ships away from the Red Sea.
